Episode Details

In this episode of Global Economic Press, Alex Brady discusses the remarkable academic achievements at Hulme Grammar School, a prestigious institution in the North West. Celebrating outstanding success in both General Certificate of Secondary Education and Advanced Level results, Hulme Grammar School is setting a benchmark for educational excellence. The school's website, Hulme Grammar School, provides further details about their programs and achievements. This year, nearly a third of students secured Grades 9-8, and over 50% achieved grades 7-9, significantly surpassing the national average of 21%. These results highlight the benefits of the Hulme investment and the improved life chances for students, including those on scholarships and bursaries from deprived neighborhoods.

Most students exceeded their predictions, entering Sixth Form well-prepared, supported by tailored teaching, small class sizes, and unique work experience opportunities provided by the Hulme Alumni Network. Stand-out achievements include top achiever Inaaya with 10 Grade 9s, Jovin with 8 Grade 9s, and Sophia with 7 Grade 9s. Following last week’s Advanced Level success, where over 75% of students achieved A*–B grades, these results enable the majority to secure their first-choice university or apprenticeship. Principal Kirsten Pankhurst praised the ambition, resilience, and commitment of the students, emphasizing the distinctive combination of academic challenge, individual opportunity, and pastoral care at Hulme. Families considering the next step in their child’s education are invited to the Open Evening on Friday, 2nd October, to experience Hulme Grammar first-hand.
